Emblem for Gilles Corrozet, Hecatomgraphie, Paris: Denis Janot, 1540. Tells the story of a small animal, the serpent, which managed to triumph over the strong elephant by the force of his subtilitas (subtilité). The text below the image exhorts the reader to use his "engin & subtilité" (intellect and sharpness of wit) rather than his force.
